ReplyDeleteStonehenge Rising
ReplyDeleteDoes canvas when digital painting count? ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for traditional surfaces, I really like Strathmore's Cold pressed watercolor paper. Even if I'm not using watercolors, I like the feel of the toothed surface! :)
I'm still experimenting, but I've gotten great results using brown kraft paper (the kind you use to wrap packages for mailing). Otherwise, I like smooth illustration board.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with Stonehenge 100% Cotton paper .... and so are my colored pencils!
ReplyDeleteCanson drawing paper. Have to be honest. Haven't really tried anything else. Just accidently bought it once and never stop. I love it because I can use all sorts of mediums on it from watercolor to regular pencils and everything works really good on it.
ReplyDeleteCanson drawing paper (90lb Dessins JA) for the majority of my work.
ReplyDeleteSchoellershammer, Unfortunately you cannot get it any more. But I have I found something else, Hahnemühle Nostalgie.
ReplyDeleteStrathmore Drawing or Bristol paper!
ReplyDeleteI love Stonehenge the best. Strathmore Bristol Vellum is my second choice and thirdly I will use watercolor paper, 140lb, but it eats the pencils faster.
ReplyDeleteStrathmore Bristol 400 or Strathmore Bristol Smooth 300 depending on which pencils I'm using
ReplyDeleteI think stonehenge paper, also Canson Mix Media Paper (THE BEST!!!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteI like drawing on Canson paper. No matter if paper is invoiced or smooth. It's great producer :) But paper always has to have big density.
ReplyDeleteI love Stonehenge paper, there's nothing like it. I also like Strathmore 500 Series Plate finish for work that I want to use burnishing.
ReplyDeletei love LANA paper :)
ReplyDeleteEsther
My favorite paper is Stonhenge. I like trying other surfaces, but I seem to always come back to Stonhenge.
ReplyDeleteJolene
Canson paper is the best!
ReplyDeleteComic Book Art board
ReplyDeleteCanson paper is awesome!!!!

strathmore watercolor paper is my fave-- love the texture, even when i'm not painting!
ReplyDeleteI love to draw on any of Strathmore's Artist Trading Cards!
ReplyDeleteStonehenge or Illustration Board
ReplyDeleteI am an elementary school teacher, so my paper choices are limited, and I don't really know any fancy brand names like the rest of you, so I'm just going to go with this: I like using colored pencils on nice, white paper! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am entering for my 7 year old son. He recently found a book about how to draw Marvel Comics. He has since locked himself in his room and has been drawing away on my white copy paper.
ReplyDeleteWe took a look at these drawings today and realized he has some amazing talent. We got him a drawing tablet so he has some better paper to do his work on. I promised him some colored pencils when we get some money.
I am so proud of his work and thought a better writing paper tablet and some great pencils would be the best summer present around!
As a teacher of 30 2nd graders I love to draw on any paper I can get my hands on! I love using colored pencils in my classroom. My students are able to draw detailed pictures that are amazing! I would love a set of your pencils!!!
ReplyDeleteAnything thick and creamy :)
ReplyDeleteI love nice card stock paper of any kind. I love the colored pencil display it will make writing and drawing even more enticing.
ReplyDeleteI am also a second grade teacher. I agree that we use colored pencils on any paper available. I really like the color choices in this set. Second graders (and their teachers) love to color.
ReplyDeleteI use several different types of paper, but the one I like best is: Strathmore Vellum Bristol. I love the medium of colored pencil.
ReplyDeleteBee Paper 2ply vellum bristol - the best!

I like to use many surfaces. Basically a paper stock that has a good poundage.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Stonehenge paper.
ReplyDeleteStonehenge is definitely my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm still searching for the perfect one, but now I'm working on KIN pop draw paper and I'm satisfied.
ReplyDeleteany surface or paper is good if u use Alvin Colored Pencil!!!
ReplyDeleteAnything Stonhenge or Strathmore if you are using the right pencils!
ReplyDeleteI like most stonhenge... But with my first graders we use everything! : ) Liked as "The Colorful Classroom"

ReplyDeleteMy favorite paper to use for colored pencil drawing is Stonhenge.
ReplyDeleteMi-Tienes is my second favorite. I prefer Stonehenge because of the weight of the paper and the way it accepts the color.
I like Stonehenge paper. It works great with Prismacolor pencils.
